Hanifin had 6 less points than Hamilton and is signed on a sweet deal.
Lindholm had a career year and is on an amazing contract.
Two seconds are not that good. It's decent but does't get you a good NHLer.
Sure Flames disappointed in the playoffs compared to the Canes, but that doesn't change the fact that the Flames crushed this deal in every aspect of the trade.

Canes did have a good season. 99 points in the deeper conference. Huge improvement over last year.
If anything the playoffs have kind of diminished the magnitude of this deal for the moment. Hanifin and Lindholm pretty much no showed for the Flames (they had company) while Ferland has hardly played. Hamilton has been productive but haven’t seen him play great in what I have watched.
